it is hilarious that francona can write a tell all book after failing so miserably as manager because he was too medicated to even discipline his own players and bootlickers still refuse to even discuss it...

this is not about valentine, ferrell, or anyone else...this is about francona writing a book and criticizing the team, the management, and others for his own failings...

sad...i guess truth not only hurts, but it is too painful to even mention

Why not read the book and get back to us...all I had to do was glance at the excerpts in Chad Finn's column to see that you're way off base on what he said about Schilling.

in his book he said big mouth Curt offended him every month....i read those same excerpts...why the need to keep on protecting him? this is a tell all book to deflect criticism on his firing/2011 performance...

do you think he wrote the bok because he DOESNT have an ax to grind?

sour grapes, ego, pointing fingers...

keep it classy St. Francona

You seem to have missed this quote where Francona said about Schilling: 'I respect him a lot and have as much affection for him as any player I've ever had.'

Now why would you leave that out? Maybe because you're trying to snow us.

HF...didnt Curt get tito the job? Why would Francon even say that Curt had such a big mouth that he would say something every month that he would have to take back? or that Pedro, Papi, Mike Lowell were difficult? he said Youk was the snitch!

cmon the guy did a lot of opining for someone who claimed to be a players manager...

he shouldve taken the high road...like valentine...

I guess you forgot the Valentine had a clause in his contract, he couldn't say anything about the organization for a year after his departure, geo. Nor would I call what he has said about some of the players, the high road.

obviously tongue in cheeck Jb...but kind of ironic isnt it? The big mouth really hasnt said much but the Saint has a LOT to say about others....

What is sad is that you haven't read the book yet have made up your mind. It is an interesting book you should read it. You are like the kid who didn't read the book but does a book report. He hardly touches 2011. He said the players drank less than other teams. On the chicken he said even his father ate chicken when he played. He never once said the team lost because of management. He actually credited Harry for emailing him during the season in 2004, after Lucchino said his performance wasn't up to snuff. We all knew Henry was weird, We all knew LL was a jerk. This just provides to insight to how bad it was at times.

I am not a fan of Francona, but the truth is that everyone knows that Schilling is a blowhard. He DOES have a big mouth and he overuses it. Thats not news.

hard to tell, geo. The bottom line is, every corporation has personal and professional issues and conflicts. Throw in professional athletes, with huge egos and contracts, owners who are paying them and managers as a go between, you'll have every major sports organization. Haven't heard anything yet that we didn't already know, just elaborated on. My best guess, there's probably more he left out, than put in.

Yeah, but thats the whole point you miss homey. I don't give a flying f&*k about how saintly or high-road Francona is. He spent 8 years in the belly of the beast. Between the media, fans, idiot owenership, and his crazy pampered stars, he kept the reigns and made it work better than any Sox manager in history. I could care less if he takes the high road. His actions speak louder than his words. Sure, it broke him in the end, but kudos for him for defying the odds for so long.

But seriously Geo, your boy the Big mouth "hasn't really said anything"? I guess you have been too busy writing scathing critiques of Cherrington and the Bootlickers to notice how many sour grapes he has popped on his way out the door. Thats just plain hilarious that you would say "he really hasn't said anything".

Kind of telling that someone is willing to trash someone over a book he hasn't read yet.

This is as embarrassing as ADG saying the Hanrahan trade was dumb about a week before the trade took place.
